GDT: Around the NHL - Playoff Edition

[AuroraBorealis]

Looks like Berube is getting the Sullivan treatment by Leafs ownership. Despite having not even done anything. That organization can't stay out of it's own way.

It's been a year. He won the division and pushed the champs to 7 in round 2.
Not sure he deserves to be fired.
And what reason is there to believe the next coach will make R3?

I'm not talking about him staying, I'm talking about them prioritizing him getting more power in the organization.

Wyatt Johnston is a -15 these playoffs what in tarnation

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Oilers aren't losing another game in this series unless Skinner completely turtles.

 

[PamBallam]

Stuart Skinner apparently has two settings: shutout or 5+ goals allowed

I don't think they've been that dominant to suggest such a thing

Ah, I didn't see the news on that. Well, in his case, maybe that's not a bad thing. That organization is so soft. They could use his mentality.

This game plus the first two periods of G1? They've convinced me. Hintz would be a big loss.

Hintz would be a big loss yea. But I don't think Dallas has really been thoroughly outplayed this game.

Per my disclaimer,I lack faith in Skinner, but I thought the Oil looked committed and focused tonight. Long flight to EDM, no practice tomorrow, I think a Finals rematch happens sooner rather than later. That said, I thought the Avs had a good shot at this...

I gotta wonder if Johnston is hurt or something. 8 in 15 and a -15. Don't see Dallas overcoming that if that trend keeps up.

 

[66-30-33]

You're done if Skinner gets shutouts. Rematch it is.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Oilers look legit and focused. I think that their loser all offense no defense past is minorly discounting this team. If it is Florida and Edmonton most will favor Florida. I am not so sure that they should.

 

[Beau Knows]

I've picked Edmonton to win the Cup like 4 years in a row...this is the year.

by far worst dude on the ice. Something for sure.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

It's weird, I didn't want a Finals rematch when this gig started, but seeing how good those two teams look, I think the finals could be epic.

So far they clearly have the two highest gears again in the league.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The Glizzy race is more interesting than the playoffs this year.

If you don’t agree, you’re just wrong.

 

[Rossi Rat]

McJesus was going to get his cup eventually. Like him or not, I understand the case for him over Sid and it’ll be exacerbated when he finally lifts it.

Edmonton is ALRIGHT. Star power aside - I like Skinner’s mustache. I like the way they’ve upped their previously mediocre defense and have some guys oddly playing out of their minds (remember the good brother Ron Hainsey in our last cup run?). I like that whole “Play Mo Bamba!” thing they got going on after every win.

EDM has been playing a god awful brand of 1995 Devils hockey when they want to win and get a lead…it’s not Skinner standing on his head…they’re boring to watch too…hopefully Florida can beat them again in the SCF lol

If he plays as long as Sid and wins a couple cups I’ll take McDavid.

I'm starting to get '09 Pens vibes from the Oilers. Their stars are on a mission after being right there last year.

I sure hope not. Really hoping for a Dallas win. Be nice for a different team this year.

 

[wheelz87]

I fear for as good as Dallas is or seems to be, they don't have it to beat Edmonton. Going to be up to Florida to hopefully do that.

Dallas has fallen upwards a bit. They weren’t clearly better than Colorado or Winnipeg but they managed to win. They need to find another gear but I’m not sure they have it with Johnstons line getting dunked on
